The ugly example is how mine looks after 90K miles. I need rework the bearings.
I wonder how much better the rebuilt shock will feel with new bearings in the link?
I made a goof rebuilding the forks and put the upper bushing in too soon. I used a torch to heat up the lower fork leg and tapped it on the vice and it fell out.
So the good ol' heat wrench can be a friend when pressing bearings or bushings.
As rusty and nasty looking as mine are a good cooking couldn't hurt as a starter. Just to kill the cooties at least.

Tried a torch and even baked it in oven at 500degF for an hour trying to get those races out. To keep my saga short I skipped that part and the part about burning my leg with a red-hot cushion lever. Oh the memories of my project!
So, do you recommend using the oven to cook suspension parts only when the wife is gone for a few days?
I'd like my stuffed pork loin to not have fragrance of bearing grease flambeau.
What we do when we are single doesn't count.
The wife had a cow when I was cleaning civil war black powder rifles in the kitchen in her big pots.
But what else was I gonna use?
